What's up with the insane rapping by people in this thread. Anyway I usually try to act myself around girlsand it works pretty good most of the time.

No it doesn't. I've heard this advice over and over, and doing so makes girls run fast and far in the opposite direction. I'm just not "cool" and suave enough for them. I'm pretty much a dork, am generally serious and have a very hard time making people laugh. It's obvious I make girls very uncomfortable. Being myself doesn't work, I can't fake it, so basically I've just started to not give a ****.

Well... yeah. Its what most down-to-Earth women are looking for in a guy (high school girls are most likely going for jocks and jerks because the nice guys are too shy at this point). They want someone that is confident about who they are... not someone stuck in a bog of self-loathing.

When I'm comfortable, yes, I have no problem attracting girls. I'm quite good at holding a conversation and I have a pretty good sense of humor. If you can make a girl laugh then you're already half way there.

How many guys are sexy, smart and charming? Any girl holding out for a guy with such qualities will probably spend her life alone. Even if she did happen to come across such a guy he'd probably just ignore her unless she also happens to be perfect.

Does being yourself work with girls? I gave up on trying with girls. So I decided to start being myself around girls. Im surprised girls tell me they like me because im different and they like me because I act as myself. Being myself has worked with two girls and I liked them both. What has your experience been with being yourself?

When people use the phrase "just be yourself", what they really mean is "be yourself if you're cool and personable, but don't if you're a tool."

It did for me. Incidentally, it's not a good idea to pretend to be someone you're not just to get into a relationship. I can't imagine trying to live a lie my whole life.

No be honest, in the perfect world, yes. But we do not live in that such world. It may be nice to think that a lot of women are attracted to a nice guy who is kind of quiet, but this is not a movie. In actuality, most women are attracted to overconfidence above anything else. Being yourself will probably only work when you get to know a girl.

Not if you're like me. Me being myself means sitting in my room all day and never leaving the house.

Yes if you're not creepy, exceptionally weird or annoying as hell. If you're a fairly normal person it should work fine.

Yes, girls do like me for who I am, or atleast the girls online do :P My real social life is so pathetic. Since in real life I wasnt anything, and by that I mean I was the silent kid in class that everyone was scard of.

Haha ain't that the truth :P In my case, being myself has led me to remarks that I am plain, ordinary and rather boring :( I suppose my interests are limiting my options of having interesting discussions.

Yeah, it works with girls, but not with women. A woman doesn't care about anything other than theman'swallet. They don't see men, they see wallets. In fact it's always about whateverthe male is worth. For girls boys are valued by the increase or decrease of status that comes with the relationship. For women it's how much the man is worth.

I grew up with sisters. So what do you guys do? Do you pretend you're Fonzie or something? Act like yourself? Whatever it is you're doing aside from being yourselfdo you think you look like anything other than a ridiculous ass while doing so?

I have always been naturally comfotable around people, but for the more awkward shy type they should flare it up but do not be fake.

The friend zone? Maybe you should look for alazy mate thatlikes to get it on. You know too lazy to go through the elaborate pointless quest of seraching for the perfect mate, but wants to get it on. Like a **** buddy that doesn't feel like finding a new buddy.

I became friends with a girl where I told her to F*** off from the get go and ended having a 3 hour discussion on psychology and what super heroes or master villians we would be. Besides the F*** off part being yourself works.

When I was younger being myself resulted in me being shy around girls and I had a hard time actually talking because I was insanely shy. I started to realize this whenI was in 8th gradeand fixedthe way I usually acted around girlsand tired to be a bit more talkative and funny around them(butI only acted funny around them on certain occassions) and I was still somewhat shy around girls still.Being yourself works,but if you do have to change how you act around agirls don't changed how you act around them a lot.

If being yourself means you're a rich, confident, handsome man with clean nails and interesting shoes then...yes.
